Comment on AI Electricity use: a lot or a little by Tm

nonrenormalizable 9: these data seem implausible, especially the figure for Germany ("5.5GW, consuming 9.5 percent of the nation’s electricity"). It's hard to believe that data centers have grown to use almost 10% of Germany's electricity without anybody having noticed. Germany's public electricity use has been declining markedly especially since 2018. This is generally explained by a decline in energy intensive industry <em>due to high energy prices</em>, efficiency gains, and the increase in solar power (often consumed directly without being fed into the grid). Why doesn't the data center boom show up in these data?
Of course energy consumption should be quantified in TWh, not in GW (power). It's hard to make anything with these GW figures.
